Extras
Backstory: Bienvenida is the eldest child of a disgraced luchador from Cuba, wrestling is in her blood and she grew up around luchadores, her mother influenced her to go into modelling before she eventually became a wrestler. However, she met the man who would father her first child when she was a model, following the birth of said child (Emperatriz), she became a wrestler and moved to the UK to escape the fights between her family and the family of the 'baby daddy'. This move however led her to the father of her second child (Antonio), and following that failed relationship she met the father of her third and (Curret) final child (Triana). She never married but did join a family. The Lucifarians, and became known as 'Lust' because of her 'love' of one night stands rather than actually wanting a relationship with anyone and her provocative nature towards anyone who crosses her path regardless of gender or marital status, like trying to convince Kirby to leave Eddie, except for Damian because he's 'too old' for her.
Watch "VOLTES V: LEGACY - Ysabel Ortega, Miguel Tanfelix, and Matt Lozano's IMPRESSIVE action stunts!" on YouTube
youtube
This makes me so hyped.
Steve Armstrong - While the dependence on using only a gun is a bit obnoxious in this test shot, it demonstrates respect to the source material. Also, in other promotional materials they briefly show scenes of Miguel Tanfelix engaging in hand-to-hand combat, so I'm satisfied.
Jamie Robinson - I'm so freaking pleased with this casting. Based on the source material, Jamie should be the most skilled fighter of the 5 pilots. The fact that Ysabel Ortega underwent rigorous training in both kickboxing and muay thai after being casted for this project demonstrates earnest respect for the role. Her hard work is paying off as she gives the impression that she's been working on martial arts films prior to getting this role. I'm interested in how they intend to justify her skills in the adaption.
Robert Armstrong - I'm so happy that they're already demonstrating that Big Bert knows some form of martial arts as in the source material, he's a skilled in various forms of martial arts. I don't Matt Lozano's skills really shine in this test shot but, in the behind the scenes stuff he's posted to Instagram, he seems to have really improved his arnis technique. Personally, I recall him more as a sword user, but materials seem to state that the staff is supposed to be his preferred weapon. I do hope they keep scenes of him practicing or mentoring sword fighting with Steve as technically Steve is the one who is charge of wielding the Voltes V's sword in combat.
Mark Gordon - Not depicted. I'm expecting his whole rodeo background to be completely rewritten and that his beloved horse Eiffle to be written out. It's disappointing, but horses are expensive to maintain on a set. I hope that this doesn't mean that his skills are reduced to boxing. I enjoyed that he was quick to start fisticuffs fights with Steve, but him being skilled with the whip and lasso really did help him stand out from other mech pilots.
John Armstrong - Not depicted. Honestly, if he has no little to no training in martial arts, it'll be fine. But I do hope they maintain him having special interests in naval tech and/or marine sciences. If he's still a talented diver or swimmer, I'll be very pleased. I actually liked his Tako-chan, compared to most other childish mascot minibots from other mech shows, but I'm doubtful that it would translate well to live action.
Arlington, Texas.- Tyler Adams abrió el marcador al filo del descanso y Gio Reyna aumentó en la segunda parte para que Estados Unidos venciera ayer 2-0 a México para consagrarse por tercera vez consecutiva en la Liga de Naciones de la Concacaf.
En su primer partido como titular en más de un año con club o Selección, Adams anotó a los 45 minutos tras recibir el pase de Weston McKennie al cobro de un tiro de esquina. Desde unos 35 metros, el volante del Bournemouth sacó un sublime derechazo que clavó a la escuadra izquierda, eludiendo la mano estirada del arquero Guillermo Ochoa.
Reyna sentenció a los 63 minutos con otro remate de derecha tras una serie de rechaces provocados por un centro al área de Christian Pulisic.
Estados Unidos hizo valer el peso de sus individualidades y estiró a siete su racha invicta ante México –cinco victorias y dos empates– desde una derrota en un amistoso en septiembre de 2019.
El árbitro canadiense Drew Fisher suspendió dos veces el juego en el tramo final al escucharse gritos homófobos por parte de los aficionados, con una marcada mayoría de partidarios mexicanos en el AT&T Stadium, feudo de los Vaqueros de Dallas de la NFL y una de las sedes del Mundial de 2026. La concurrencia fue de 59,471 espectadores.
Jamaica derrotó 1-0 a Panamá en el partido por el tercer lugar. El lateral derecho Dexter Lembikisa anotó el gol de los caribeños a los 41 minutos.
Estados Unidos se confirmó como el gran dominador del certamen regional con su tercera corona en el mismo número de ediciones (2019-2020, 2022-2023 y 2023-2024).
Para el Tri fue un nuevo fiasco en la Liga de Naciones, ya que en su primera edición cayó 3-2 en tiempo extra en la final ante Estados Unidos y en la pasada edición se conformó con una tercera posición.
Adams dejó fría a la zaga del Tri con su disparo lejano, que pasó a un lado de Edson Álvarez. El gol plasmó el dominio de los estadounidenses en la posesión durante el primer tiempo.
Ochoa se había erigido como la figura desde el comienzo al prodigarse para desviar un remate con dirección de gol de Pulisic, el volante ofensivo que está teniendo una magnífica temporada con el AC Milan de la Serie A de Italia.
El Tri se vio superado y no inquietó el marco defendido por Matt Turner y pasó la mayor parte encerrado en su mediocampo. A la vuelta para el complemento sus mejores opciones quedaron en disparos sin dirección de puerta.
Cuando los mexicanos parecían elevar su nivel vino el segundo tanto del equipo de Gregg Berhalter. Reyna remató abajo para el 2-0 definitivo.
Ochoa evitó que fuera una marcador más amplio cuando atajó un nuevo remate de Pulisic en los últimos momentos del encuentro, justo antes de los primeros gritos homófobos.
La más reciente victoria de un combinado mexicano ante Estados Unidos fue en un partido amistoso en Nueva Jersey, el 6 de septiembre de 2019, con un marcador 3-0. La supremacía estadounidense incluye tres victorias en finales: dos en la Liga de Naciones y en una Copa Oro.
Este torneo trae malos recuerdos para México, pues después de la conclusión de la edición 2022-2023, en la que fueron terceros, fue despedido el entrenador argentino Diego Cocca como seleccionador. Semanas después comenzó la era de Jaime Lozano, quien actualmente dirige al equipo nacional.
Ambos equipos competirán a mediados de año en la Copa América, que se disputará en Estados Unidos.

El último triunfo de México sobre Estados Unidos fue el 6 de septiembre del 2019 en un partido amistoso en East Rutherford, con goleada 3-0 gracias a los tantos de Javier Hernández, Uriel Antuna y Érick Gutiérrez. Ese mismo año, el 7 de julio también los derrotaron, pero con marcador 2-1 en la Final de Copa Oro
The Bear Roots of Burbank Cartoons: A Lookback at Boo Boo Runs Wild
5 years ago, [adult swim] aired the greatest of all Yogi Bear / Ranger Smith episodes, “Boo Boo Runs Wild” (1999), on August 13th, 2016 A.D. at 4 AM.
Look and see, kids, how America’s not-so-average bear connects in the wide world of animation that produces many of the cartoons that you love in Burbank, Canada and more!
As and after I saw it, I knew that I found the greatest band of cartoonists out there, and that greatest band of cartoonists out there was none other than...
Spümcø, whose many creatives would end up working at Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, Cartoon Network Studios, and many other popular Burbank and Canadian studios that made the cartoons I grew up and beyond watching.
Obviously, the character design is rather different, but they still look like the right characters, even with the slight color changes...
and with their items of human attire out. Ranger Smith, on the other hand...
Ranger Smith is wildly off model, and probably on purpose, throughout the picture.
Only in one scene appears he with a more familiar face.
Now, I didn’t have to watch Wild Kratts (which, by the way, features 6 Spümcø Canada creatives) to learn that “there’s only one thing a bear likes more than raiding a pic-a-nic basket.”
As the title suggests, Boo Boo loses his temper when Ranger Smith restricts him from tearing bark and decides to go primal in returning to his bear roots: “From this day forth, I’ll not dress in the man’s attire, and I’ll not speak in the man’s tongue. From now on, it’s going on all fours and grunting for me!”
Boo Boo wreaks havoc for the trees with his natural bear roots.
Unlike past episodes, however, the artists went far wilder than the usual Hanna-Barbera cartoon, making the trees alive and screaming in pain! OH, WHAT TOURTUE! Not to mention how I love Boo Boo’s goofy/manical laugh, a beautiful product of John Kricfalusi’s voice (Yes; I know that he was a formerly abusive megalomaniac who still has ADHD, but God knows what cartoons would be like today—at least those produced in Burbank and Canada—if it wasn’t for the many layout artists that he led).
Also unnatural to a Hanna-Barbera cartoon is the extreme levels of slapstick, wackiness and graphic nature of cartoons since such shows as Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures, Beany and Cecil’s DiC reboot, and The Ren & Stimpy Show. Boo Boo and now Cindy Bear are licking away at all of the honey... and bees... with insanely long tongues (may be that they’re sloth bears?). This left Yogi Bear practically speechless.
The mere sequence of dialogue between Yogi and Ranger Smith, discussing what to do about Boo Boo, involved HEAVY work in the storyboards by Vincent Waller. So many expressions that they couldn’t fit in each of Spümcø’s 3-panel storyboard pages!
As you see, in addition to Vincent Waller’s storyboards, John K. added extra poses (storyboard revisions more or less, but definitely layout poses) under the respective scenes. That way, Vincent could focus on telling and writing the story in rough pictures. (source of storyboards)
I also love the sound design. While it’s definitely true to a Hanna-Barbera cartoon, John K. and the late Henry Porch were very creative with some weird, dated and out-of-context sound effects, similar to what they and Horta Editorial did on The Ren & Stimpy Show in the first two seasons. The production music (probably APM and Capitol Records) also gave it a vintage, nostalgic feel.
Ultimately, with the aforementioned abusive megalomaniac aside, Spümcø undoubtedly harbored some of the finest animators and artists ever. Such names as Bob Jaques (Spongebob Squarepants, Buy One, Get One Free*, The Baby Huey Show), Ben Jones (DC Super Hero Girls, Cats Don’t Dance, Teen Titans GO!), Vincent Waller (Spongebob Squarepants, Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog), Albert Lozano (Inside Out, A Kitty Bobo Show), Todd White (Spongebob Squarepants), Eric Koenig (Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Madagascar, Cats Don’t Dance, The Simpsons, and The Tigger Movie), and Erik Wiese (Samurai Jack, The Mighty B!) are among the hundreds of creatives who ended up almost everywhere working in Burbank and Canadian animation.
Other names on the Spümcø team that one might recognize include Gabe Swarr (Dexter’s Laboratory, The Buzz on Maggie, Foe Paws, El Tigre), and even background artists such as Richard Daskas ( @rdaskas - Samurai Jack, Time Squad, Sym-Bionic Titan, Batman Beyond), Richard Ziehler-Martin (Tiny Toon Adventures, The Wacky World of Tex Avery), Hector Martinez (Tom and Jerry: Robin Hood and His Merry Mouse, Timone and Pumba, Captain N, Evil Con Carne, Dora the Explorer), and Tony Mora (MAD, Teen Titans GO! to the Movies, Pickle and Peanut). I mean: in short, these artists worked for Warner Bros. Animation, Disney Television Animation and Walt Disney Feature Animation, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network Studios!
Spümcø’s production assistants on Boo Boo Runs Wild feature Matt Danner —a fantastic character designer, storyboard artists, director and producer, whose credits range from (Johnny Test and The Legend of the Three Caballeros to Team Hot Wheels and The Looney Tunes Show—and Cartoon Brew editor Amid Amidi. Brian A. Miller was an executive in charge of production, not for but probably in association with Cartoon Network.
Spümcø’s creatives, as I said, are all over the place in Burbank animation. Other shows that still air on @adultswim have ex-Spümcø creatives. For example: today’s re-run of Samurai Jack EPISODE XVI features Chris Reccardi (The Powerpuff Girls, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy)...
Scott Wills (Genndy Tartakovsky’s Primal, The Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat)...
Lynne Naylor-Reccardi (The Shnookums and Meat Funny Cartoon Show, Wander Over Yonder) and Jim Smith (YooHoo and Friends, Tom and Jerry Tales, McGee and Me)...
and Leticia Lacy (TRON: Uprising, Sym-Bionic Titan, Wander Over Yonder, Korgoth of Barbaria).
Even outside of Cartoon Network Studios, where most ex-Spümcø artists end up, @cartoonnetwork’s The Amazing World of Gumball, from Cartoon Network Studios Europe (AKA Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe), features ex-Spümcø artist Charlie Bean (The Powerpuff Girls, Robotboy, Batman: The Animated Series, Timone and Pumba, Creature Crunch) on The Cartoon Network Europe Development Team.
One of Cartoon Network’s biggest and craziest hits, Teen Titans GO!, also features such ex-Spümcø artists as storyboard artist, director and producer Luke Cormican (The Buzz on Maggie, Brandy and Mr. Whiskers, Brickleberry, The Replacements, El Tigre)...
Gerald de Jesus (The Book of Life, The Ricky Gervais Show, TMNT)...
and Eric J. Pringle (Fosters’ Home for Imaginary Friends, The Problem Solverz). What wacky cartoon filled with live-action images, unpredictable visual gags and extreme slapstick humor wouldn’t?
Relatively, you could even tune in to Nickelodeon, the original home of Spümcø’s ground-breaking hit, The Ren & Stimpy Show, and see names of creatives associated with Spümcø and Ren & Stimpy, such as Zeus Cervas (Star vs. the Forces of Evil, Spongebob Squarepants, Clarence) on today’s episode of The Patrick Star Show...
or even Gabe Del Valle (Mighty Magiswords, Spongebob Squarepants) on today’s episode of Middlemost Post!
Overall, Boo Boo Runs Wild introduced me to the cartoon studio whose works I took for granted and on which I was missing out all of my life, and I strongly encourage this generation to support this Yogi Bear / Ranger Smith episode, which you can watch RIGHT NOW on [adult swim]’s site. It was officially on their YouTube channel, but it was removed for unknown reasons. This short never even got a DVD or VHS release!
The last televised airing of Boo Boo Runs Wild on [adult swim] so far was January 6th, 2019 A.D., but Spümcø also produced “A Day in the Life of Ranger Smith” and “Boo Boo and the Man” (based on true events in the life of John Kricfalsui) for Cartoon Network.
As I come to a close, it’s worth noting that layout Ed Benedict, an animator and artist whose credits go all of the way back to the 1930s with Disney and continued with MGM and Hanna-Barbera/Cartoon Network Studios, originally worked on Yogi Bear episode “Yogi’s Birthday Party” as a layout artist, and reprised that very role for “Boo Boo Runs Wild”. What a legacy the animators and artists of this episode leave!
Always will I remember how Spümcø, whose legacy connects to my Cartoon Network-infused childhood, blessed me and graced me that fateful day, August 13th, 2016 A.D., with the ultimate example of the fine art of cartooning that is the Yogi Bear / Ranger Smith episode “Boo Boo Runs Wild”. I was living in the moment, and I thank God for it.
“For years they have [been] asking me to make new Yogi cartoons, but I can’t even get a half a million [dollars] to make one, probably because I actually like the characters, but 60-70 million $ to make walking corpses is economical.” - John Kricfalsui on Yogi Bear (2010)
Another Ranger Smith, Boo Boo or Yogi Bear cartoon from the people behind The Ren & Stimpy Show is highly unlikely today, due to the abuse and harassment of John K. angering the world to the point of hating and condemning the man who helped to shape not only Cartoon Network but also television animation—and animation as a whole—with an undeniable legacy of artists and animators who deserve way more credit and respect than we perhaps thought of giving as kids.
